DeMar DeRozan - Not the biggest fan of this guy, will be an ok producer but not a fan of SG's who can't shoot.

I really hope he'll have a breakout year this season. I can clearly see him filling a bigger offensive role with Bargnani gone. And he also looked great in the preseason. But I'm not gonna lie, he was my 2nd option at the two guard, I was really hoping Iggy would fall to my pick.

I gotta admit I panicked a little bit when I was picking him, ran out of time and had no clue who to pick... not even sure why, I guess someone picked my player right before my pick.

I don't have that much insight in the league to say whether or not he'll be huge this year, but I really love Faried, one of my favorite non-Knicks players. I'm sure you can remember I was really high on him last season and well, it hasn't changed.

I agree he's helluva risk, but I have some good feelings about this guy, he's huge, he's physical, he's committed and he's talented. IMO he has the ROY potential. But once again, there will be a lot of pressure on him and as you said said CLE's frontcourt is stacked, so he could also be a bust.

I didn't check on Landry before I picked him, he was huge for me last season and I wasn't aware he was injured. But I agree, if he's out for three months it's a horrible pick, I'm gonna cut him right away.

So i miss the draft unfortunately, but i knew i wasn't going to make it and ranked my players which i'm satisfied with for the most part, but what is up with 5 bench spots for each team??? I was thinking I could atleast pick up some free agents to complete my team but with 14 teams in the league and 5 bench spots on each there is literally scraps to pick from. I played alot of fantasy but i never seen that many spots deep.

We played 15 roster spots with 16 teams last year and there was still quality free agent additions to be grabbed often! Just gotta dig a little deeper.

Basically I've negated Asik's potential effect on my team should his minutes take a hit; him or Varejao for that matter. One of them should play close to 30 min consistently. This move balances my roster better IMO. The difference in production given the player swap will be negligible.
